The 180s GC units do occasionally stable in Bradford.

Overnight? Very very rarely and only if something has gone very wrong.

Grand Central stable 2x 180s in Bradford overnight on Saturday night into Sunday morning. I believe there are untimed moves from the station to the sidings. The rest of the time they are stabled overnight at Crofton.

Well I thought in a world of Skype people didn’t need to go out that early, strange of GC to not abandon their units at the terminus but how do we explain that they don’t run a early morning LONDON train and not sure how they’ll do it when they are different franchises.

Not sure that you can work on skype if you are employed in a shop, or say a nurse in a hospital?

Correct and they are occasionally stabled on a Thursday evening.

Not sure why this is?

It happens every week.

Currently are Northern and GC both owned by Arriva?

Yes; see:

It doesn't matter. A Grand Central unit was used before Arriva even had the Northern franchise.

...we were crushed from Cross Gates at 07:53 yet we didn’t mind, we accept how small a train is.

Tip: the 07:48 should be a 5-car Nova 3.

Yes the 07:48 ran late though as most Transpennine trains are, I wish it had come so I could get the 68 engine number, I collect them.
